Getting caught up on what's up

Teeheehee.

Listening to a new episode of Conan O Brian needs a friend in the background with Charles Barkley, and it's distracting me from typing anything. So stupid.

We're still watching The Circle, it's embarrassing as hell it's trash tv at its worse, we just can't stop watching it. When you think you've figured it out, the show is going to take it slow and nothing interesting is gonna happen next, they turn on the temperature so to speak, throw in a new scenario or character or game or interesting circumstance to make the players a little more vulnerable a little more needy a bit more reliant on their fellow players. It's quite interesting but let this be clear it's not that far from Jersey Shore and is as much of a 'reality' television as it is semi-scripted television. What I do appreciate about the show is that the turnaround times are so short...the 'elimination' happens every day or every other day, and one episode corresponds to a day/day-and-half of real life. Which means they're not there suffering for too long, and also because no one's actually in the same room...or has even seen each other...there's a lot of individual emotional responses to show, which fills up most of the scenes instead of creating other bullshit drama. The 'games' are quite low-key and not too harmful or stressful to the contestants which I appreciate too. There might be articles in foreseeable future that decries the demise of 'real' reality shows like Jersey Shore and how those new shows lack the 'real' interactions between people.

Weekend plans are absolutely up-in-the air, not clear what I'll be doing later this week...Originally planned two things but I'm not out there enough to confirm them with the folks originally planned with and I don't want to push too hard on inviting myself to those so Imma just gonna keep quiet and not work on it. It's going to be fine either way, and I'll be happy content and dippity-doo-dah guy regardless of what way it ends up.
